Northwest Workers Plan Informational Pickets  

BY ERNIE MAILHOT
MIAMI - As we go to press, members of the International Association of Machinists (IAM) at Northwest Airlines are preparing to hold informational picket lines at airports around the country June 12 to protest the employer's refusal to seriously negotiate a contract.

In Los Angeles, IAM members and other unionists will be leafleting airport workers and passengers as well as organizing a 3:00 p.m. rally at the airport. In Miami, IAM members will be leafleting at Northwest in the early morning when several Northwest flights depart. Machinists in Miami will also be leafleting at United Airlines in support of the nationwide organizing drive for customer service representatives at that airline.

Among the other airports where Militant worker- correspondents have reported activities for June 12 are: Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, Seattle, Duluth, Minnesota, and Washington, D.C.
